Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the debtor's right to be heard was violated because the cantonal court ruled before he had received and could respond to the creditors' submissions.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The first-instance court decided before the debtor could effectively take note of and comment on the submissions, causing a serious denial of the right to be heard.
Extrahierte Begründung
The right to be heard includes the right to receive and respond to adverse submissions before judgment. A grave violation is cured only in exceptional cases; here no compelling reasons justified curing the defect on appeal because a remand would not cause formalistic futility or unnecessary delay.
